Ms. Guo Fenglan, 64, lives in Shuangcheng City. Due to more than three years of persecution while imprisoned at Harbin City Women's Prison, her body has become extremely weak and emaciated.

My Experiences in Tianhe Detention Centre in Guangzhou and Songjiang Women's Prison in Shanghai [17.01.2008]

Each prisoner has a production quota and must fulfill it in the stipulated time. If the quota isn't met, the prisoner would be punished by having to copy the rules of the prison all night, put in isolation or forced to do aerobic exercises under the burning sun, prohibited from buying some of the relatively better food items, restricted in buying commodities, not be allowed to take a bath, etc.
